Theists on atheist forums

Thanks for the advice and the sympathies. It is sad that a woman would need to do that.

It is important to me, though, to be upfront and honest about who I am (at least to a certain extent, obviously I'm not gonna give my name lol). Whatever consequences in treatment people give me as a result... well, so be it.

Thank you for treating me with respect. :

I am not exactly suggesting that you do use a gender neutral name.  I am merely presenting it as an option for you to consider.  If you tire of dealing with sexist jerks, it is an option available to you for online communication.  Unfortunately, most sites (including this one) forbid multiple accounts, so you would have to start out that way on a site if you are going to follow the rules.

Also, you do not have to lie to do this.  You just don't reveal that information to people.  You may regard it as personal information that is no one's business, just like your real name, social security number, etc.  Not telling us your social security number does not require any lies, and not telling us your sex does not require any lies.  That was the way my wife did it, as people just assumed she was a man.


And if I am ever disrespectful to you, it will not be because you are a woman.

(Besides, I do not know that you are a woman.  You might be a guy just messing with us.  )

Yes, very true. It's definitely a viable option, and one I would suggest someone take if they cared more about being treated objectively on the internet. If I get to that point (which I doubt I will, but anything is possible), I will definitely consider doing this in the future. Thanks again!

LOL! The numerous people here who have become my friend on facebook can attest to the fact that I am 100% who I say I am!
